"Visual occupation" - a new term being used by Palestinian media to complain about too many Israeli flags in Jerusalem.

Be prepared for the term to start appearing in liberal mainstream media around the world.

An IDF attack drone captures the final moments of a Hezbollah terrorist targeted in southern Lebanon.

The naval blockade of Iran's ports is in effect.

Any ship entering or exiting Iranian ports will be stopped and boarded by US and allied naval forces.

Israel's Supreme Court rules that the IDF must open all combat roles to female candidates, including tank crews.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer says Hezbollah must disarm for the sake of regional stability, but he sounds much more upset that Israel is daring to take military action against the Hezbollah threat.

Classic attempt to draw moral equivalence between Israel and its terrorist enemies.

It seems that in Starmer's view, Israelis must simply sit back and absorb Hezbollah attacks until Europe's strongly-worded condemnations finally convince the terror group to voluntarily disarm, or Lebanon to find the courage to finally act against the Iranian implant. Both of which are scenarios that anyone with any actual knowledge of the situation knows will never happen.

Trump: The Iranians are calling me, they want to make a deal very badly. But they can’t have a nuclear weapon. We are going to get all the nuclear material out of there.

Jerusalem marks Holocaust Remembrance Day: "We will never forget"

Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem demands that Lebanon call off tomorrow's talks with Israel.

Qassem insists that the only two options are to fight Israel, or to surrender to Israel, and Hezbollah will never let Lebanon surrender.

German Chancellor Freidrich Merz told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel must not annex the biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich fired back:

“The days in which Germany tells Jews where they can and cannot live are over.”

Some 40 Palestinian Arabs were caught yesterday as they attempted to illegally enter central Israel by hiding inside a garbage truck.

Today at 5pm Israel time the Israeli ambassador to the US is scheduled to meet with the Lebanese ambassador for direct ceasefire talks. The meeting will take place at the State Department in Washington.

Hezbollah is violently opposed to this meeting between the Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected to join the meeting between the Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors in Washington later today.

This is good news for Israel. Rubio is a "no nonsense" guy, and from Israel's point of view, the issue here is quite simple: Lebanon has for too long hosted a terrorist army (Hezbollah) and allowed it to attack Lebanon's neighbors with relative impunity.

Yes, it would be costly for Lebanon to confront Hezbollah, but the solution cannot be for Lebanon's neighbors to simply live with the threat.

Iranian spokesman Ebrahim Rezaei: "The ceasefire will not be extended. They [the Americans] will either recognize Iran's rights, including our control over the Strait or Hormuz, or they will have war."

Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in the ancient coastal city of Tyre in southern Lebanon a short time ago.

An oil tanker was attacked off the coast of Oman, near the Strait of Hormuz, a short time ago. No other details were provided.

The Iranian regime continues its internet shutdown.

Even in Bint Jbeil, on the battlefields of southern Lebanon, Israeli soldiers stopped and took a moment to remember the Six Million who perished in the Holocaust. (Via Amit Segal)

Today we pause and remember.

Yom HaShoah is not only a look back at the past, but also an attempt to understand what it means today.

Holocaust survivor Miki Zamir and his granddaughter, Maj. Noa Zamir, head of operations at Israel’s Home Front Command, together pressed the button to sound the Holocaust Remembrance Day siren this morning.

Consider for a moment what it must mean to these survivors who witnessed the near-extermination of their people to today watch as their grandchildren lead the most powerful military in the Middle East in a reborn Jewish state.
